I’m a Senior Technical Architect and consultant based outside Philadelphia. By day I help organizations untangle complex technology problems — designing systems, leading teams, and turning legacy infrastructure into something people actually enjoy using.
Outside of work, I’m equally hands-on. Whether that’s in the kitchen, in the garage with the Beetle, or at the workbench with a Raspberry Pi — there’s always a project in progress.
This site is where both lives meet — the architect and the tinkerer, the consultant and the cook.
Outside of Work
The Kitchen
Japanese, Korean, Thai, and Italian are my lanes — methodical on the first run, experimental after that. Right now I’m deep into Korean BBQ and hot pot. If I wasn’t in tech, I’d be running a Japanese fusion spot somewhere in Philadelphia.
Smart Home & Tinkering
Wall-mounted kiosk displays, local voice assistants on Pi Zero 2Ws, a self-hosted media stack on Unraid, 3D-printed mounts and cases — all designed to make life more convenient without feeling like a science experiment.
Vintage Fan Collecting
A lifelong obsession. Ceiling fans mostly, but also table and floor fans from eras most people have forgotten. It goes back further than I can remember — my parents say the only way to calm me down as a baby was to put me under the whole house fan.
The 1973 Super Beetle
Orange convertible, sitting in the garage looking beautiful and going nowhere. Paint and body are done, carpets are in — then a rod went through the case. Waiting on a new engine. She’ll get there.
Photography
Landscapes, long exposure water shots, and flowers at Longwood Gardens. GoPro for anything involving motion or water. These days mostly phone, but there’s a mirrorless camera somewhere in the house.
The Garden
Perennials collected over the years, inspired by my mom’s garden. Nothing too planned. This summer’s project is moving a flagstone patio from my dad’s backyard into mine. Gordon the Golden helps by digging in the wrong spots.
